  1. In the Netherlands you used to have to take the zebra if you were within 40 meters. But nobody cared of course, we're not Germans. This came together with changes in the liabitlity laws, both civil and criminal, to protect vulnerable traffic users. That basically results in the difference that a car or bicycle has to stop when someone is about to cross the zebra, but without a zebra the car driver has to avoid accidents or danger. So pedestrians forcing a car to stop on purpose crossing the street without using a zebra hardly ever happens. It happens but by accident, not paying attention.

  2. Main concern with raw milk cheese is the soft white cheeses containing lysteria, causing miscarriages in pregnant women. So it has to be clear on the product it is made with raw milk so people can decide for themselves. Lots of pregnant European women avoid raw milk cheese, except for the French pregnant women, they just take the gamble for taste. The French tend to only pasteurize mass produced industrial cheeses, the Italians pasteurize a lot more, in Spain and Portugal they appear not to have learned about pasteurization yet. Raw milk does not magically turn a cheese great, but if you have great animals grazing on great soil and a great cheesemaker taking the milk, pasteurization will flatten the taste considerably. In the Netherlands we have unpasteurized Gouda, both young and aged, they are not necessarily better, but the best Goudas are unpasteurized.
